Having an issue with my 80 watt wifi powermodule. Will turn on, can log in, no lights. Started when I removed the cable from the controller unit last night. Tried the factory reset and still no good.

I'm in Australia so tried to log a ticket with ATI (Europe). Basically their online help is non-existent. Won't even allow me to submit. Getting pretty worried. Unit is only 8 months old.

The 80w dimmable Powermodule in Australia is not a fixture we offer since we are on 120v so I am not sure how much help I can offer. I have never heard of this happening and is likely due to the cord being unplugged.

Do not ever unplug the fixture from the control box while they are powered up on any generation fixture.

I'm thinking about purchasing the 48" 8 bulb Hybrid wifi powermodule. I must be overlooking the overall dimensions of the light housing on the ATI America site.
Can someone provide to me the outside to outside dimensions of the 48" 8 bulb fixture?

I would be running this in an open top canopy. Been reading that it is a PAR monster. So do others run their light much higher over the tank vs. 6-8" like other T5 kits?

Thanks in advance for the insight.

After a few years of using a powermodul I have finally found my perfect bulb combo!!!

For anyone interested back to front:

Hi Keith,

Is there anywhere you know of where PAR output measurements are available for the 4x24w LED hybrid?
Been trying to figure out what kind of PAR I'm getting over my tank, but without a par meter it's kind of guess work whether my acros are getting blasted with light or not.

Thanks

Sorry I dont have par data, how big is your tank?

It's a shallow SPS tank. 30x20x14.

Currently I'm running T5 (2b+ 1 purple+ 1 Coral+) on 100%. Leds are as most on 50%. (Had them on 65% before)
Light is around 10" above surface.

 

[Keith@ ATI NA]

I can’t imagine you wouldn’t have plenty of light. If the corals look good I wouldn’t sweat it.

Actually worried there might be too much light, a few acros are a bit on the pale side, but thanks I'll let it be and see if I can get ahold of a PAR meter for some accurate readings

[MENTION=364823]Keith@ ATI NA[/MENTION] can I remove the power cord from the side of the fixture. I don't see anything saying you can't but I'm also not seeing anything say you can either. Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by remove the power cord. You can certainly spin the whole fixture 180 degrees and have the cord on the right, there is no "front" of the fixture. You cannot however move the cord somewhere else, there are 28 (going from memory) wires inside that cord, it would be extremely difficult to rewire.

Where the power cord meets the fixture it came attached but appears screwed on. I want to place the light in a canopy I'm making and being able to unscrew the cord from the fixture would change the design of the canopy. Don't worry it will be very well ventilated lol

The cord is hard wired into the fixture, it is not a plug that can be removed. What you are seeing is the strain relief so the cord is protected from the edges of the aluminum end plate. If you attempted to loosen it you would discover all the wires travel into the fixture.

Ah got it... I will design the canopy accordingly. Thanks Keith

Earlier someone in this thread said they had added Reefbrite XHO to their Hybrid
I just had a new 60" x 8 bulb hybrid wifi fixture today to replace my current 60" Powermodule with 60" reefbrite
The number one reason I upgraded was to be able to ditch the Reefbrite XHO as its ugly as sin sitting on the beautiful fixture and above my ELos 150 XL.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I was really hoping to only have the fixture hanging and not have to add a secondary light source

My Powermodule is 8-10 years old and I thought it was time for an upgrade

I grow SPS with a few softies on the sand and am excited to get this new unit hanging
I did have a 24" over my Elos 50 but it was not so great, the LEDs rusted and stopped working entirely but of course the T5 worked flawlessly. Ive been an ATI guy for a long time, I even have their Cone skimmer !

Anyone know how to set the T5s to "manual" to burn in? NOT via the computer interface.

Got my new unit--non-wifi--up and running and just put the tubes in. I found a cheat Sheet on how to program using the brick from a UK website (I have Macs so am using the buttons to program) but, when it comes to the T5 channels, it warns to run in "manual" to burn in the bulbs before implementing the dimming function. However, they don't state how to do this and I don't see the option anywhere.

Right now, I just set it to run at 255 for 4 hrs and set a program point a minute before and after at 000. Is this sufficient? Figure if it dims it will be a quick dim (60 secs).

I am looking into buying the ATI 48" wifi powermodule. I have the RS reefer 350 - so about 70 gal tank. According to the ATI website, the 4xT5 should be enough power, but ....

I noticed most of you seem to be using the 8 x T5 versions. The price difference between the 4 x and 8 x is not much. Could I buy the 8 x, but use only four or six T5s if needed? Would that work?

Anybody can come up with a reason why I should not do it?
